Patricia Amy Cunningham McDaniel was ushered into her heavenly home on July 30, 2024. Pat was born on June 30,1935 in Steubenville, OH to Dr. Walter and Helen Reeves Cunningham.  She was preceded in death by brothers Dave, Tom and John Cunningham. 

The family lived in Steubenville and moved to Mississippi while Pat’s father was stationed in the Army and then served overseas in WWII.   She graduated from Steubenville High School and attended Muskingum College.  At Muskingum, Pat met the love of her life, a young student athlete, Joe W McDaniel.  

They married in 1956 and moved to Marion, OH.  Joe began his coaching career and Pat modeled for Whirlpool.  Moving back to New Concord for Joe’s career, Pat completed her college degree.  Future coaching moves led the couple back to Marion, onto Marietta and Danville, KY where they spent the rest of their 68-year marriage. They raised five children: Chris (Laura), Denise Finney (Scott), Julie Hall (Michael), Tim (Micki) and Scott (Bobbie).  The family has grown to twelve grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren….and still growing.  After a long illness, Joe passed away in January 2020.  Pat was a devoted caregiver during his time at Morning Pointe.

Pat was a teacher in the Danville City Schools and involved in many organizations over the years. She enjoyed playing bridge with her former co-workers, spending time in her flower gardens, reading, traveling and following grandchildren activities and sports.  Her greatest adventure and love along with Joe was discovering and exploring being a child in the body of Jesus Christ.
